Actually the best one is the one you find to take your migraine away. Everyone is different…Imitrex is good. My wife uses Maxalt. Firoicet is old…prob. not the best choice. There are someother newer ones as well. Make sure you have a complete evaluation of your All kinds of Headache before being prescribed migraine drug. even though your doctor doesn’t order a Ct scan (at least)…go somewhere else.

Well, I don’t think anyone can really trully answer that because everyone is different, and what might be the miracle drug for someone might not be for everyone. I have tried both and I had more luck with the fioricet than the Imitrex, but it made my mind a little cloudy. The Imitrex is the miracle drug for my mother. She can cut her one pill up into 7 little pieces and it will get rid of her migraine. (for insurance reasons she can only get 9 pills every 60 days, yet she suffers with migraines everyday)
I personally take Relpax, which is a Triptan like Imitrex, and it helps 75% of the time. good luck!
Very sorry Gentleman.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases like RA, Back ache, earache etc. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES,
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Pain killers don’t treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
These useless drugs have enormous power to create hazardous side effects like liver/kidney failure, ulcer, acidity and lot others.
Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help you if cough is not there.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves’ juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.
Pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds!
For forehead/eyes the points will be in front of the finger nail on or below the tip of fingers.
